"I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life!” she laughs. “I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”

Butts, like ideas, need nurturing in order to be realized. And if they're not handled carefully during their infancy — say, written down immediately after they've materialized in the shower, over drinks, or during one's work commute — then they have a tendency to slip away just when you need to pitch them in a meeting. They're notoriously slippery things, ideas and butts. You always take them for granted until they're gone.
